SAFETY SOAP-HOLDER.

. Specification of Letters Patent.

' Patented July 28, 1908.

Application filed January 15, 1908. Serial No. 411,003.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PLUM ER P. ROYAL, a citizen of the United'States, residing at Drummond, in the county of Granite and State of Montana, have invented new and useful Improvements in Safety Soap-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to safety soap holders, the object of the invention being to provide a simple and eflective holder for soap in cake form which while preventing the soapfrom being carried away, will enable the soap to be used freely and advantageously without removing the same from the holder.

With the above and general objects in view, the invention consists in the novel con- 2, so as to form a bag or sack which is open along one edge only. This bag or sack is of sufficient size to easily receive a cake of soap indicated at 3, and after the soap has been placed in the bag or sack, a securing chain 4 is laced through the marginal rings at the open edge of the bag so as to close that edge of the bag and the'chain is made of a suitable length to connect with a lock 5 which look may be connected with an eye or staple 6 secured to any suitable fixed point such as a wall, post or bracket.

In the use of the improved soap holder it is not necessary to remove the soap from the bag. The bag by reason of the construction described is thoroughly flexible and when rubbed between the hands, the fabric or rings of which the bag or sack is formed assist in breaking up the surface of the cake of soap and spreading the same upon the hands. The fabric also assists in making lather in the same operation. By means of the arrangement set forth and illustrated in the drawings, there is no waste of soap as additional cakes of soap may be placed in the bag without removing the worn down portions of the cakes previously placed therein.

Having thus fully'described the invention,

what is claimed as new is 2- A safety soap holder consisting of a flexible sack composed of interwoven links, and a flexible anchoring chain laced back and forth through the links bounding the opening of the sack and having one end fastened to a link adj aoent to one end of the mouth ofthe sack.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

PLUMMER P. ROYAL.
